	Ordering
		The latter issue is easier, since the non-Attic letters already have canonical positions thanks to their erstwhile positions as numerals (and lexica reflect this where they do not conflate non-Attic letters with extant letters, as is usually the case with koppa, san, and sampi): the ordering is
		Heta and eta are variants of the same letter, and I do not know of a canonical decision on which comes first if both occur in an index (which is rare).
		Ligatures canonical or not, to the extent that they belong in Unicode at all, would presumably sort as their expanded counterparts: even if a stigma were left as is in the word in an index (which is doubtful), it would sort under sigma tau.
